 :D ;D

I love, love, love this thread! :)


But, I feel compelled to ask... I hope I'm not making a huge Brokie gaff by asking this... but, what's the significance of the "Monk's Vineyard" sign?

I'm doing this ----->   preemptively.

I'm right here with you Bud!
Great idea for a thread Lynne! :-*
But I also don't get the connection between BBM and the Monk's vineyard ???

And this one took the cake for me:




This was as a give-away in a cereal package. The hotel opened new ceareal packages. My boy got the Christian Bale Batman, and the boy at the neighbour table got - the Joker! :o I was short of going over and asking to swap ::).

Awww, I was just revisiting this cool thread and remembering what a fun idea it is.  I'll have to remember to be on the look out for contributions for this thread since I now have a digital camera as part of my cell phone.

Chère Lynne,


What are or can be considered:
      Oblique Photo                   ??


Since I never have seen this expression:
     Oblique Photo            ,
what does it mean?

Please note that I am proud
that you start a thread
with Brokeback Mountain as a subject!

Au revoir,
hugs!
